Most Americans are fucking idiots.
Yes. It's cliche to bash on Americans these days but goddamn, it's fucking true.
I spent a bit of time today arguing with this asshole on the NPR forums while waiting at the Portland airport for my flight back to Sac about Obama's visit to Asia.
This guy was of the opinion that China is to blame for most of the United States' economic woes, (never mind the ponzi-scheming, tax payer dollar bonus paying fuckwads on Wall Street) and he believes the way to "fix America", as it were, was to ban all products from China and to adopt an isolationist policy. Yep. It's the new Yellow Peril! Ban everything Chinese, that'll save us! Oh and kick out all those filthy Mexicans too while we're at it!
Do Americans even know the term "personal responsibility" anymore? I mean I know if you are Christian then who fucking cares since God's gonna fix it all, but fucking A! |

So I've being told I have to move, by Sarah's mother (after she spent a day cleaning Sarah's kitchen). This is apparently because Sarah and Sumi needs to feel like real 'homeowners' since they're getting married, oh and also it would help her become more 'mature' if she didn't feel like she was still in college because she has a roommate (I guess she didn't see the irony between her statement and what she was doing earlier in the day).
I talked to Sarah about it a couple days later, and apparently, she wants me to move out because she wants more closet space. Funny...two people, two entirely different reasons as to why I've been told to move. I guess I'll just pretend they never discussed this between themselves.
Well anyway, I found a place two days after talking to her mother. Signing the least this Friday and then moving out within the week. |

It's like this LJ is turning into 'bitch about roommates blog'.
Whatever. It's not like saying this shit to them is gonna change anything, and I've gotta vent somewhere.
So they've just got back from an all parents' paid trip to Fiji for two weeks. They "unpacked" by pretty much throwing everything through the door, or at least that's what it fucking looked like. Then they both got sick from flu, and lo and behold, the kitchen turned into a pig sty in a matter of days.
Then I started feeling ill two days ago, likely thanks to the swine flu or whatever the fuck these fools picked up on the plane back. I took a sick day yesterday and cleaned up their mess in the kitchen for a while. I come back from work today, and lo and fucking behold again, shits just lying around everywhere. This is fucking ridiculous considering how one of them doesn't work or anything since it's her "Summer vacation", and sits at home all day watching shit on her computer.
I should really suggest to their parents next time they come up to drop off their dog to get them a fucking maid or something. I mean since they already pay for everything, what's another couple hundred bucks for a hispanic lady to come by and clean up after some lazy ass Americans. She could then use the money and the experience to teach her kids to not be a bunch of spoiled ass fucks. |

Want to know what the place I live typically looks like thanks to my housemates?
Check this out:

By the way, none of those dishes you see are mine (nor are all the other crap you see in the pictures). I wash everything after I use them. |

Every time I purchase anything (especially ones that are delivered), my roommate would start harping on whatever I bought, i.e. "You don't need that." or "Shouldn't you be saving money to buy a house?" (all because I mentioned last year that I was thinking about buying a house in the Davis area, somehow I guess she took it to mean OMG BUY ONE RIGHT NOW!) and my favorite: "I hate it when you get things that I want."
So that's what it comes down to, me having things that she wants, which is pretty damn ironic since her parents generally buys her everything. They bought her a house, her car, her computers, everything. They paid for all her college education and are even now paying for her graduate studies . They are also currently giving her something like over 1000 a month for living expenses on top of tuition payments (her response to this? "Well if they didn't want to pay for it all then they shouldn't have given birth to me." Yep, who can argue with that?). I guess this all means that she feels vindicated to lecture me about saving money and what I should and should not buy (Even though I'm saving anywhere from 800 to 1000 a month, making anywhere from 200 to 500 on student loan payments, and not taking a damn penny from my parents except on my birthday).
Sure is easy to act like a miser when you aren't paying for anything eh? Why are so many Americans such blatant hypocrites?

SO I'm waiting for the plane to LAX at the shitastic Sac airport, and I let out one of the loudest farts in the history of man (I was trying to control it, except I couldn't...shit happens).
Then this older woman sitting 2 seats away, let out this loud ass burp like 3 minutes later. I'm not sure, but I think she was commiserating with me.
Shit was so cash.

I may be a retarded Chinaman with no common sense, but even I know not to burn WET fucking wood. My roommates apparently thought that the green wood they got from a recently chopped down tree...that's been sitting outside in the rain and fog for the last 3 weeks, apparently is good enough for the fireplace.
I got back from work, walked into the house, and my nose immediately started running. Now I've got a fine layer of ash over everything in my room.
Oh well, at least the house is still standing.

Most Christians or other religious people I have ever met, has never had an event occur in their lives where their beliefs were truly called into question. This is, of course, not a bad thing in of itself, as it allows the propagation of these religions to the next generation. However, what if every religious person went through the equivalent of what Elie Wiesel went through 10 years before he wrote "Night"? What if every religious person survived their own Holocaust? Watched a small child struggle helplessly on the gallows towards death? To see their loved ones wither away slowly while smothered by guilt because they couldn't wait for the inevitable?
I wonder how many would emerge from such an ordeal with their beliefs unscathed. How many would continue to believe in God and being the self-righteous people they were.
Friedrich Nietzsche believed he predicted the end to religious morality in the late 1800s; yet the major world religions have so far plunged headlong into fundamentalism. I wonder how long it would take for humanity to vanquish its' anachronistic tendencies.

Get ready for stagflation to occur within the next half a year. The government throwing 700 billion dollars at our deep seated financial woes will only be a temporary relief, like filling cracks in a dam with glue. A world-wide recession will likely occur soon as Europe and Japan's senior population continues to grow and yet birthrates continue to decline. Economic instability increases the chances of armed conflict between countries. The increasingly hostile rhetoric from Russia and Venezuela and the instability in Pakistan and the Middle East will have to be watched closely. It's time to think about the unthinkable and plan for the unimaginable.

Just finished watching a documentary called "Why We Fight" which was released early January of this year. It is pretty much an in depth analysis of the current American Military Industrial Complex and how it came to being not long after Eisenhower's presidency (One whose coming existence he specifically warned about during his farewell speech).
After seeing it, I can't say I was surprised that for the last half a century, war was made primarily because it was (and still is) profitable, that it is because of influence from armament corporations and a general apathy on a public level. What is surprising is that how intertwined this military industrial complex is with our society in general, that we cannot do anything to change the current system because it is so intertwined. Like one of the talking heads in the movie stated, a B-2 bomber has parts built in every state, so that if you take away the corporate contracts, congressmen will howl because it will mean job loss in his state.
Our current government no longer has interests of the people in mind, but the interests of the corporations. And going to war is no longer the business of the people, but of the heads of corporate offices, the government "think tanks" and congressmen who are influenced more by money than by opinions of his constituents.
But like the ominous comparisons in the movie between our current state of the union and the Roman empire implies, the policy of eternal vigilance will eventually fail because the cost of maintaining it would be too great. And when that time comes, when the American empire falls...Well, its going to be an interesting time.

the Cutting Edge
(52% dark, 42% spontaneous, 36% vulgar) |
your humor style:
CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK
Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you say aren't themselves confrontational. You probably have a very dry delivery, or are seriously over-the-top.
Your type is the most likely to appreciate a good insult and/or broken bone and/or very very fat person dancing.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU: David Letterman - John Belushi |
 |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
You scored higher than 50% on dark |
|
You scored higher than 40% on spontaneous |
|
You scored higher than 48% on vulgar |
|
Can't stop taking these things!

The Expatriate
Achtung! You are 30% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 28% blindly patriotic |
Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism ("patriotism" for short) does not reach unhealthy levels. In Germany in the 30s, you would've left the country.
One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.
Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could be one of them, depending on your age.
Conclusion: Born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi. |

So in the last couple of days, I...
went to a rugby game against Cal, where Alex made a couple of great tackles.
watched Vicky climb a tree.
studied some ochem before going to Mahler's 2nd symphony at the Mondavi Center.
And found out that Nims got a blow job after the rugby party on my bed, which I can't hold against the guy since he was drunk, it was his birthday, and we all dislike Cal very much. (If you are reading this Nims, congrats is all I can say, and expect condoms as your bd present)
